It depends on what type of caterpillar you are talking about. For instance, the woolly bear (or worm) stays in its cocoon from an average of ten to fifteen days. There are oth â¦ er ranges, of course, but that is because woolly bear caterpillars are so common throughout the world.
Temperature is the measure of the average kinetic energy of the molecules in a substance.
Temperature directly relates to the kinetic energy of the molecules. Temperature can be measured in a variety of units. If you measure it in degrees Kelvin, then the temperature value is directly proportional to the average kinetic energy of the molecules in the substance. Notice we did not say that temperature is the kinetic
